On 4/9/12 the C1 Conservancy zoning was removed by Milton Town Board. The 12/14/11 CUP application was denied on 2/13/12 because of C1 conservancy zoning on the land. Rock County issued a cease and deist order. The logger was told to rush to cut it all. In January 2012, Traynors illegally clear cut over 21 acres in an action to pave the way for their potential gravel pit. This land had over 50 acres of old growth timber on the ridges protecting the marsh and wetlands. It borders most of the western shore of the Storrs Lake Marsh, wetlands, public hunting grounds and Otter Creek. In fact the pit would be within 50-100 feet of private property with homes within 200-300 feet of the pit. The proposed gravel pit is immediately surrounded by rural residential homes, closer than houses to the Hanlon pit. The first CUP was filed on 12/14/11 to mine 112 acres of this land. Amon had been watching this land since 1988 (re: lease with Anna Wanke, later revoked by Mrs. On 3/10/11, Scott signed a lease (Harold Traynor Trust) with Amon & Sons, INC for the purpose of mining gravel on this recently acquired land. In December 2010, Harold’s son, Scott and grandson Jon, who is a Milton Town Supervisor, acquired about 130 acres of the Wanke farm through a land swap with a third party.
Harold dedicated years respecting this town’s zoning regulations, defending the rights of citizens, protecting the environment the adjacent marsh, wetlands and old growth timber. This resulted in court appeals, which upheld this denial (re: Rock County Circuit Court decision).
